Gus G Shows You How To Play "Bark At The Moon" by Ozzy Osbourne

Gus G shows you how he plays the Ozzy song "Bark at the Moon." This is the version he plays live with Ozzy on stage.

[@joelsmith4816]

Jake's work with Ozzy was just mindblowing.

[@7pines77]

I love his style and technique. Gus G is becoming one of my favorite guitar players these days

[@scootertb26]

Gus G is a super tight player, incredible

[@billyreynolds4749]

Absolutely! Listen to Firewind! Amazing music!

[@Nickk81]

[@LUckybones25]

Jake E. Lee is the most underrated guitar player of all time. The dude was a monster player.

[@joelsmith4816]

U better believe it!!!

[@bellaing6963]

True. But I think people really started to Realized that.

[@eljefe8564]

Still is!

[@realnsenpai]

Hes not one of the fastest pickers out there but his solos and riffs were perfect for ears

[@BrianOboylemusic]

Badlands album is great ! Jake is A monster Too… I just got the Gus G album on cd

[@warptek]

Can't believe all the negative comments. This guy is a phenom. What're you all deaf? Even if he doesn't play it with the exact nuance of Jake his version is just as good as any of Ozzy's guitarists. As great as Jake was do you guys actually think he played all of Randy's stuff note for note exact? Be realistic, no one can play exactly like some other dude.

[@puertecitos6888]

Warptek, he is no phenom

[@UltraBluesRocker]

Kiko plays Friedman maybe ...

[@HimTortons]

@@puertecitos6888 I agree, hes definitely not part of a cpu family produced by amd from 2007 to 2009

[@MrJackal43]

warptek Gus is fn awesome, no doubt. But if you play a classic, I don’t mind it being played in a lower register, but you’d best be accurate on all the nuisances and hooks that make the riffs the song. Ya know man? I think he does a great job, a good interpretation. 90% wont know the diffs.

[@keithfields1178]

warptek Agree, the mother of invention is well , making it your own. If playing guitar was a contest of exactly matching the originator to the letter I would be using orchestra instruments and studying classical music. If that’s your goal, then bravo keep doing it, but if expanding your understanding of an instrument you should listen to the building of learning a song. Either way, it’s to enjoy a craft of self expression, not criticism of what is different from your point of view. Keep on chugging at it and using the masters music to get there. Enjoy the journey.

[@facundodiaz9129]

Thats sounds insane!!!! The tune is just PERFECT

[@hazor777]

Gus' picking is so smooth ....... true Metal professional .

[@oldguyjammin9732]

[@liveloud9894]

Nice guitar work , tight and a crisp heavy sound, great thanks

[@maddykmad6276]

For those who hate this man, go and watch classic ozzy's riffs exclusive guitar magazine's video he play both versions. it's just he prefers his own style instead of copying whole thing. He do some small variations.

[@steventheo69]

Best lesson I've seen for this song. Thanks!!!

[@M.Huling]

Gus you make it look so easy to hit those chords, but I know they aren’t. Dude you’re awesome!

[@waqarsyed6641]

AWESOME GUS G VERY WELL DONE DUDE

[@guitarjunkienc4875]

Not how Jake plays it but absolutely badass

[@MikeUIibarri]

My little brother, RIP, loved that period from Ozzy. It makes me sad to hear that Ozzy doesn't really dig that stuff. I love those albums. And Jake. Props to Gus, of course.

[@raul21md]

Thanks Gus! Now I can play the intro! :D

[@jacobbouser4190]

That tone is phenomenal! He is so underrated.

[@justinkeyser2023]

1:03 "Or you can just do it however you like." Way to teach a tune...lol

[@anastasiosmitropoulos1989]

Great tone!! Thanks!

[@DONTWANZ]

I've been attempting to learn the second half of the of the riff on F for a while. Thanks for the display. Awesome job. Not hating...I've seen Jake play it a different way.All the little changes in the song are usually lost by most.I wish that some new music would come out that's this good.All computers and bullshit.So grateful I was able to grow up with this. Rock and roll and guitar heroes forever.I LOVE Randy and Jake the best. Zakk was good....not even close though.Gus G. Is awesome.

[@jmfernelius]

Mam is this song have great guitar work in it. It's really impressive to listen to and watch how nuanced the guitar is. A real Master of the instrument Jake E Lee is.

[@jdf4883]

I can see where arch Enemy got their influence opening riff for Seed Of Hate. Sounds pretty identical to the Bridge part of this video.

[@jackoshea7668]

Great sound

such good playing

I Thought This Rocked ,I Love watching him ,Keep Rockin 🤘🖤💙☠😈

[@jasonsmith6408]

Love this tune! I saw it live feb 1 1984. Jake E Lee #BATM

[@alexanderbrown4250]

I saw it in Milwaukee on the same tour with Motley Crue. Feb, 84. I was working for the promoter, and was backstage from 6am when the crew started off loading the trucks.

[@Kevin-dx6co]

That's exactly to a tee, what Jake is doing on this. Hats off Gus...A+ Jake E Lee is one of the most original & interesting guitar players of the last century. Saw him live Bark at the Moon tour Ft Myers FL...was awesome...

[@TheCyberMantis]

Nope. Jake plays it differently. Cool thing about this song... everyone plays it differently. You can take this song and make your own version of it. It will still sound like the song, but played in different ways. I have watched many players, including Jake himself, teach this song. They ALL show you different ways to do it. Which actually makes it very confusing if you are trying to learn it.

[@Kevin-dx6co]

I guess sounds closer than Zakk, seen Jake teach it himself, his hand muscles are old now, & doesn't have the youth he once had. Ultimate Sin album is his peak, fuckin amazing guitar. He sounded like no one else but him. Like George Lynch, Alex Lifeson , Jimmy Page & John Sykes...original "sound"

[@rramirez2000]

Que calidad de sonido, se entiende clarito...

[@freduleror]

What a tone!!

[@Emi4Rock]

Too digitalized

[@rorycunningham5457]

[@SQUAREHEAD64]

Yikes! Horrific tone…

[@svenfigueroa312]

I saw him in concert with ozzy here in puerto rico. His sound was horrible. Same as here. Just hear it, that scraaaaatchy sound. Not good.

[@joseortega1875]

Hello gus!!!! nice play!!! gus just one question please (if you read this) what is your branch strings. I mean, i use dimarzio and the 0,09-0,42. So, what about you? do you use a normal range or a mix one may be? I would like to experiment with the one you use....thank you so much gus!! i see you in Murcia!!!!

[@MrCLAASS]

I like the split visual

[@nathanielweber7843]

I honestly don’t get the plethora of comments saying “oh it’s not how Jake plays it.” He’s not Jake, he’s his own man. He’s basically doing tribute work whenever he’s doing stuff with ozzy because he never got to write his own album for the man, of course there will be differences. What matters is that he’s playing it so close as to be respectful in his cover while being his own person and letting himself shine through in his own way, it’s quite amazing how close he can sound to the originals while still being creative. He’s not changing anything drastic, he’s just making subtle differences that stand out because he’s that good.

[@witnessthewrath8061]

The tone sounds good

[@wallgunn3385]

Holy tone!

[@dalienaustin3143]

Tht tone!!

[@TheTrueFortress]

Shame Ozzy never gave Gus the go-ahead to write an Ozzy record. The guy’s a monster and knows the DNA of classic Osbourne material.

[@petesilvestri]

This song never gets old…. Jake is a true artist….

[@asherasator]

Wow! So many people complaining "he's playing it wrong". In this video the only real difference is the F part Jake does by the main riff, and Gus plays it lower, BIG DEAL. It's the same descending notes but different string held as a chord, so it's actually an improvement. Anybody who doesn't understand that doesn't comprehend guitar. The whole point of the guitar is having the same note on several different strings for positional or tone choices. Many classical pieces also are arranged and played in a variety of ways. There's other things Jake does with this song that are redundant and irrelevant, like before the chorus Jake holding the F# bass with the chord changes... WhoopDeeDoo. I think it sounds better without it when hearing the guitar alone and most people listening could care less. Jake was doing a few "extra things" to show technicality trying to fill big shoes. The worst is live he can't hit the last note of the solo after the scale build up, which is kinda lame because then it takes 2 guitarists to play it right.

[@wk.6900]

these people who bitch about the chords are fanboys they cant accept other styles of playing because they dont know how notes and chords works they are egos and they must show how great jake was jeah i like him too but dude i love when someone playing it good and give tribute dont be so angry man this world is full of cry babys..

[@sawdust6968]

no! thats the main opening riff to" jake e lee's" bark at the moon

Is there an AXE III download for this tone?

Gus G is cool

[@quit293]

there many ways to play riff. i like this heavier version.

[@geolinkin6579]

yeah people are bashing this guy. I've been listening to Jake since the 80s and his rhythms are the most complex yet resonating. but I only care about how it sounds...this cat sounds great!

[@grigorisntamaras6709]

Super!!! song keys and modes please!!!!!

[@bluesruley2k]

THAT is the grittiness that Ozzy has always been missing. Still going to miss the phenomenal artificial harmonics of Zak tho....

[@randallflagg9659]

A lot of you music "pros" on here obviously have no understanding of what enharmonic notes are. Gus G is a killer player.

I know it's been 2 years but my tipp would be using a thicker pick like 2 mm. I use the ernieball prodigy 2mm. You can play super fast with them

[@bach5150]

interesting... iv'e been playing that rif like you for decades. i know it's not how jake does it, but it sounds like the same thing without all the stretches...

Gus G is an incredible guitarist. His tone is amazing...

[@benkeohan6764]

What tuning is he in?

[@Olysterz]

if you want to know the correct way of playing this... search Jake E Lee bark at the moon. He points out where most people get it wrong

[@gonzosc1]

yep and everyone got it wrong hahaha

[@broderp]

That's exactly what I was thinking. It didn't quite sound right, but I wasn't sure if it was the tuning, the distorsion or the wrong notes.

[@markcropper7069]

And he plays it on an out of tune guitar :D

[@louvelandia7804]

Including gus g

[@kthcsh]

lou velandia "including Gus G"...whatever that means. This is ain't no cover band. Gus is (was) Ozzy's guitarist. The way he played it is the right way.

[@dadev4426]

I looked at the finger pickin. Its very similar to the song that ben dampleryersteindeen does on his debut cassette of “turn da kick bass to dirt”. Off the single track of “gretta poo poo”

That’s a very unique Tone

[@jeffhodge7272]

Rock And Roll Rebel is one of my all time favorites riffs ever by Jake E.Lee. BATM is way cool too.

[@JayDeutsch]

This is not WRONG: It is just a different fingering of the same notes. Not exactly how Jake played it, but sounds just as good and a LOT easier than the stretch from 10th to 5th. kzbin.info/www/bejne/e3qcomOonZ2FhK8m6s You can be a copycat guitarist or you can add your own flare and own what you play - kzbin.info/www/bejne/n5qthYaEotR6edk Gus completely acknowledges that he plays it differently from Jake, so no, it is not wrong. Just the Gus G version.

[@zedddddful]

Jake e Lee wrote some seriously tasty riffs the GOAT ozzy guitarist by far.

[@itzfast]

Allow me to preface this by stating Gus is an outstanding guitarist period. He wouldn’t have played for Ozzy if he wasn’t. In regards to BATM, he is for the most part playing the main riff correctly, but those stabs at the very end are not the way Jake plays it. Jake was kind enough to do a brief tutorial on the main riff at a guitar clinic which is posted on KZbin.

[@JRMorris]

So many experts lol

[@YounGun88]

[@davidmoore2445]

ask Korn. sounds like C? Just keep lowering your A string until it sounds like the beginning palm mutes

[@Prowler-vc8dt]

Anyone of you who think he is better than him must see this-Gus G (Ozzy Osbourne / Firewind) - Guitare Xtreme #70- on you tube and then send your own tape to ozzy and replace him.Jake E Lee is my favourite guitar player but gus g can play too.

[@bama5490]

You know I wasn't sure about Gus g until I seen him with Chris Broderick on a video on hereand I'm a player myself and I'm a real stickler and there's things I still have to learn you know I'm not trying to act like I'm the guitar virtuosobut Garcia showed me a lot man and you know props props paid to the man he he's really a great guitarist I really like him and I also like Chris Broderick so you know great going man great going don't understand why you're not with Ozzy no more I haven't reallyher why the separation took place because Zach being back as I mean I hate to say it it's almost boring because it just sounds like the same thing I've been listening to for 30 yearsyou know Jake was a little different the key seemed over at Jake's playing a little bit Zacks a great guitarist but I liked him a lot better when he was branching out on his own not Black label society but you know just doing stuff with like Steve Vai and yngwie malmsteen and great players like that I said I think that was a much better gig for Zach in my opinion because I saw him smile I don't see him smile a lot around Ozzy

[@lynchlink01]

Gus G has his own style and tone. Is as great as other people's? Maybe not. but that's the beauty in it. And besides, its a little bit different live than recorded (as is with every guitarist)

Yup. This is tuned down.

[@loknloll]

It is in D standard. He refers to positions as if they were E standard

[@asherasator]

Ya, A= 392Hz is D standard. If you look at it from a recalibration of what A is then playing stuff lower or higher is still right regardless of tuning. That's what most guitarists do that don't tune to A=440Hz anyways.

If you put "doing HIS version," somewhere in the title the comments may get a bit less bullshitty.personally tho, i have to learn this for the band and he seems pretty slick to me but even tho ive heard the song only a couple of times i can tell this is a bit off to the origional. Im not sure which way to do it now! Im trying to learn but each time i hear it its different, i saw the jake do it but didnt like the stretch so i did my own inversion but now this, i thought my way was the last possible option but they keep turning up.
